Accra, Ghana – 18 July, 2025 – The government has officially dismissed speculation about converting the stalled National Cathedral project site into a Cultural Convention Centre.
Government Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu clarified that President John Mahama has not approved any plans for alternative use of the site, emphasizing that no decision has been made regarding its future.
Addressing journalists at a press briefing on Friday, Mr Kwakye Ofosu clarified that while a proposal had been submitted to the 24-hour Secretariat suggesting a new use for the land, the President has not endorsed or approved any conversion of the site.
“As I indicated, once the forensic audit comes in and all the matters at play are clearly understood, a firm decision will be taken on the future of the site,” he said.
The National Cathedral project has been mired in controversy, with millions spent on a project that has seen little progress. An audit by Deloitte and Touche revealed financial irregularities, procurement breaches, and unsupported expenditures.
The government has since dissolved the National Cathedral Secretariat and is taking legal steps to dissolve the Board of Trustees.
